> PC games don’t need “cross play” FYI, you create a server and it is visible for anyone who purchased the game regardless of platform.
That is very much game specific. As an example, Deep Rock Galactic doesn't support playing between Steam and the MS store [0]
> I haven’t used in game voice for more than a decade now. discord, teamspeak, steam chat, Xbox live all work well and are used by quite a lot of people.
All of those options require you to coordinate your play outside of the game and the platform. If you are playing Sea of Thieves on Steam with friends using steam voice chat, and one person joins via the MS store, you need to figure out out how to get them into the correct place. If you're all on xbox, they just join your party.
> Can’t comment on that single issue, but it does look like there was barely any information provided to repro the issue.
So it's not just file a bug report, it's file a bug report and provide follow up information. As a programmer, that's fine, but what if my kids want to play minecraft with their friends?
